A MILLION DOLLAR TEMPLE.
Tho Structure to be Built for Pleasure
Seeking New Workers.
New York M0rd.


y competition among architects is now
in progress for securing the adoption of
plans for the proposed big amusement
building to be erected on the site Of the
Madison Square Garden. The general
plan of the building has already been de-
cided on. The outside will be of brick
or stone, of fine Architectural appear
anCe, and the interior of iron. There
will be basement sixteen feet in depth
to cover the entire block. This will con-
tain Turkish baths, an aquarium, bowling
alleys, shooting galleries and staDling for
about $50 horses, besides quarters for
elephants and other large animals liz case
there should be 8 menagerie located
there. On the ground floor will be the
amphitheatre, larger than the present
one, and flied with permanent seats to
accommodate not less than 5000 or 1000
people. 1t will be arranged so that ex-
ira seats can be put in 10 increase the
seating capacity to Is, 900 or even Is 900.
There is no place at present IN the city
for holding big political convention or
for accommodating anything like that
number of people. The angle between
the incline on which the permanent seats
are to be arranged and the street fronts
will be fitted up for stores. These will
probably be on all four sides, and there
will be about thirty of them.
On the second floor, on the Madison
avenue side, Will be a large finely ap-
pointed theater. 1t is intended to
make it one OF the most comfortable and
roomy places of amusement in the city
The chairs will be large and the aisles
broad end the seating capacity upwards
of 1900. A number of studios are to be
pat up on the Twenty seventh street
side, while fronting on Fourth avenue
will be very large ballroom, four times
the size of any in the city. one OF the
plans makes this l23 feet long and ninety
six feet wide, with thIrty-six-foor cell
ing. The necessary supper and dressing
rooms will be built as adjuncts to this
grand hall, On the TWenty-siXth street
side will be g concert hall for lectures
and other entertainments.
An immense glass roof will cover the
center OF the buildingito light the amphi-
theater by day, and around this sky
light q garden will be arranged which
bWilI be one OF the novel features Of the
enterprise. 1t will oe covered in winter
time so as to be utilized as q continuous
place of amusement irrespective of the
season. The estimated cost Of the build
ing is 81 900, 900, and the cost CT eTery-
thing, including the price paid for the
site, will be nearly 100000.

MpISCREET ORGANS

Are not the organs of the Anti-PrOhI-
/ bition party rather indisCreet? They vO-
1 ciierate that they are the Democratic salt
/ OF the earth, and some of them threaten
I that prohibition Democrats must walk the
plank next year. But while these Or
CANS of the new party are claiming 10 be
/ the only True Blue, ngme-blown- the
bottle, Democracy, whenever they make
q calculation showing they are going to
carry the state they make up vote that
is two thirds Republican and one
third Democratic. From its grace
ful perch on the Democratic platform
adopted at Galveston THE GAZETTE di-
reefs the attention Of the organs Of the
Authorization party to the indiscre-
ton of which they are guilty.
l. VIII not Democrats say, if True
Blue Democracy is one-third locofoco
and twothirds "noble old Rip" it is not
Democracy ct all, but q vile compound?
,. VIII not Republicans say, If we SIRE

bCx-t we are not TO have even
the reward Of well doing-if our
votes are TO 90 to build up True Blue
Democracy that already shows itself to
be more exclusive than anything we have
yet had in Texas, we will vote the other
way?
8. Isn't il better for the cause Of anti
prohibition that the organs stop claiming
tc be purely Democratic and figuring on
success only through Republican votes?
1. Wouldn't it be better for every
Democrat in Texas to follow the example
of Coke and obey Democratic law as pro-
mulgated by duly constituted Democratic
state authority?

A second was given to the Gallagher
resolution.
Here some one said: "Why should
we put any of that money into the hands

Major Lockwood contradicted the

but II we fight on the general principle OF

Gallagher replied oy saying that he

took their families to the springs or any
where, they were in the habit of being

he thought on looking st The group be-

1t wss announced upon the streets yes
terdsy that the saloon men had adopted
Galagher's resolution on the night before
10 conduct their side OF the campaign
apart from the central committee, the
principal reason given being that the
central committee would put their hands
good deal further into the saloon mems
pockets than the aforesaid saloon men
would. The general impression on the
outside seems to be that the saloon men
are iniuring their own cause by such
course. Many declare that if it is to be
made j saloon mems fight they would
much prefer TO vote on the side of pro-
hibitiOn. The broad and liberal views of
Major Lockwood upon the same subject
are generally commended by Democrats.

STOPITI

The people Of Texas should call halt
to the outrages being committed upon
the liberty OF her citizens. No matter
Whist we may think of the prohibition
amendment, no matter how strenuously
we may advocate or oppose its adoption,
there are duties snG responsibilities rest
ing upon the citizens Of Texas which rise
above and beyond any question of police
legislation or domestic rules. The honor
of the state and the pGrpetuation OF those
fundamental principles Of government
which underlie enlightened society
are being desecrated and jeopsr-
died by "a lawless element whose
brutal Instincts and inherent viciousness
are beng stirred UP and brought to the
surface by the excitement of the present
campaign. Rights are being invaded,
laws are being defed and the traditions
OF our government set at naught. When
the time comes that the free men and
women Of Texas can not meet together
peaceably, to discuss their home affairs,
without being bombarded with rocks and
whisky bottles, defled with eggs or shot
at with rifles, the manhood and chivAlry
of the state should rise and stamp out Of
existence these pernicious weeds Of an
arcly, which are threateningly springing
up over the country. No matter who is
the william or who the victim, the good peo-
pie on both sides Of this question should
Join in an effort to crush it out efectually
ana permanently. No matter whom it
hurts or wnom it helps, the lovers OF
Texas and of good government should
come boldly to the defense OF both.
These transgressions, the offsprings of
intolerance and depravity, should cease.
They should not be permitted to take
root ana flourish. They are not in
digenous to Texas soil. They are baleful
exotics which nave been transplanted in
our midst, and they should be blignted
and consumed by the burning blasts of
peoples righteous indignation. To at
tempt to palIste, is to become particeps
criminis; to attempt to gloss over or con
ceaI, is to become accessory after the fact
The true way, the just way, the
patriotic way for the pros and antis
alike, is to openly and boldly condemn
these practices. All sensible men know
that the leading Observation-Disclosures Of
the state condemn these outrages, and
heartily condemn them. It is their
duty therefore to publish to the world,
IN no uncertain tones, their unqualified
condemnation Of these practices 1t is
duty they owe to the state, because it
will show those evil inclined persons that
their conduct Is not countenanced by
those whose interest they are foolishly
endeavoring to advance.

Ia referring to rumOrs that ne would sue

The Saloon Dealers Association held g

not unknown to fame as deputy sheriff,

were present, Major Lockwood in the

was the broadest view OF the matter. He
said they were not opposed to the central

joining on the west and John
Cempben'5 dwelling on the
east, al of which were burned
to the ground with their contents. En-
gineer Donnelly of the excursion train
